Why Homemade Dog Food May SAVE YOUR VALUABLE Dog's Life
The recent dog food and pet food recall that has claimed the lives of dogs across the United States due to eating contaminated commercial dog food tainted with aminopterin, a rat poison, and melamine, a chemical used in making plastics and fertilizer. Due to this fact many dog owners considering homemade dog food as a safe and nutritious alternative for their dog.

In a recent news article, a law professor states that little change is anticipated ( in the dog food industry) following the current onslaught of dog food recall news and attention subsides.

The probable reason behind this conclusion is that there are insufficient money and manpower to effectively monitor and regulate your dog food industry. You can't trust your dog food industry to consider your dog and the government is not your answer either.

This is unfortunate. Your dog food industry was created in postwar America to meet a need....the necessity of business interests to recycle slaughterhouse and industrial waste. This refuse had potential uses as fertilizer, landfill and such, but a far more profitable horizon existed in the packaging and selling this "junk" as food to unsuspecting dog owners. It is now a common misconception that your dog can not maintain a healthy life unless he is fed commercial dog food. Nothing could be further from the truth.

To save your dog's life, you really should consider making your own homemade dog food. That is one of the better ways to guarantee your pet a healthy and safe diet.

Just glance at some of the regular ingredients delivered by rendering plants to commercial dog food manufacturers in the U . S, Europe and worldwide.

o Euthanized 犬 手作りご飯 使ってはいけない 食材 -Toxic chemicals such as for example Sodium Phenobarbital, the euthanizing agent injected to kill dogs daily at dog shelters. (This comes with the euthanized dog who is ground up at a rendering plant to be added to dog food. Your dog may still be wearing a flea collar and be in a plastic bag when rendered )

o Blood

o Feathers

o Undeveloped eggs

o Downed, dying, diseased and dead animals (Known as the 4Ds)

o Hooves, beaks, feet and hide

And a host of other unsavory, unhealthy and toxic products that may slowly kill or euthanize your pet with every feeding.

So what's the alternative? Well, when you are willing to spend a little time, and maybe even some money, there is a better solution to feed your dog. You can halt the daily toxification, provide needed nutrition and boost your dog's lifespan

What You Should Feed Your Dog

A variety of homemade dog food options are for sale to you to make your own dog food at home.
Many of these include completely natural dog diets that are currently the rage with certain dog nutrition experts like the Bones and Raw Food,( BARF) diet often known as the Biologically Appropriate Raw Food diet.

BARF Diets typically include a selection of uncooked foods such as :

o Bones with meat flesh attached

o Organs

o Muscle

o Eggs

o Fruit

o Yogurt

o Enzymes

o Herbs

o Vegetables

o Supplements and herbs

o Cereals

Regarding the preferred meat, there is none. BARF proponents use beef, chicken, goat, buffalo, whatever is fresh and available.

The same philosophy seems to exist for vegetables. Again the emphasis is on freshness, availability and variety.

While anecdotal tales of remarkable results are reported daily by BARFers, some veterinarians have discovered that BARF diets could be deficient using required nutrients. The shortcoming to qualitatively analyze each prepared meal may take into account these research results.

Vegetarian Homemade Dog Food Diets

Dogs, while primarily carnivores may also be actually omnivores. In the open, 10,000 years ago, dogs would remove their prey, and eat not only the meat of the carcass but the contents of the stomach which included undigested grains, berries and grass.

This natural desire for a balanced diet suggests to many dog nutritionists that a vegetarian diet plan containing sufficient protein sources is desirable. The benefit of a vegetarian diet plan is that disease along with other health related issues can be avoided aswell. Additionally, the philosophical objection of vegans to killing any animal as a food source is accomplished.

Homemade Dog Food Vegetarian Diets include

o Bread

o Brown rice

o Sprouting grains

o Carrots

o Apples

o Dog biscuits

o Cottage cheese

o Eggs

o Lentils

o Baked beans

Create a Combo Homemade Dog Food Diet

o A Combo diet is in essence a blend of all philosophies and may include

o Meat

o Vegetables

o Eggs

o Brown Pasta

o Brown Rice

No matter which approach you choose for a homemade dog food diet there are many pitfalls. One is the difficulty of preparing an adequately balanced dog food diet with each batch.

The Whole Dog Journal states that a properly balanced dog food diet should include whole meat, vegetables, fruit, grain and top quality dietary fats.

Others suggest that the best alternative is to use a very high quality dog food that's natural, without preservatives, additives and the toxins that are found in many of the private and major kibble brands sold in shops. These dog foods will typically cost quite a bit a lot more than dog foods of lower quality, but guarantee a balanced diet for your dog .

If you do elect to prepare homemade dog food for the dog be sure to avoid certain foods which is often toxic and potentially fatal to your dog. These include but are not limited by avocado, raisins, grapes, and chocolate.

If the benefits and drawbacks, yin and yang, of the many approaches to making homemade dog food for the dog has your head spinning, don't despair. I have already been researching this field for years and learn something new daily that confuses me even more.
